    Now that explains a lot. I've skipped all of the movie TF comics to date b/c i expect to grab the massive Omnibus they'll eventually released. That said, it does make it harder for the casual fan like myself to jump on as I feel that its shoddy writing.

    Between the prequel, the prequel special, the adapatation, the comic sequel, and 2 sequel-movie prequels the IDW Movie universe is quite complex already! (And that's before you consider the UK prequel and sequel stories!)

    From what I can tell, the order is:

    -Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Defiance
    -Transformers Movie Prequel (occasionally referred to as Prime Directive)
    -Transformers Movie Prequel Special (reprints of Target's Interlude and Planetfall)
    -Transformers (2007) movie
    -The Reign of Starscream
    -Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Alliance
    -Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie


    According to Alan Dean Foster on November 1st, his upcoming novel Transformers - The Veiled Threat was written with The Reign of Starscream comics in mind to avoid continuity issues, however, a month later he said he was asked to make some extensive revisions.


    Furman has intentionally steered the Titan movie comics into an alternate universe where Sam died, so his stories don't count, thankfully, as they seem to be getting pretty stupid.

    It actually came out tonight. They receive their comics on Wed normally but don't sort thru them until that evening. Plus, I was pass there for lunch today so it made easy to pop in and pay it off.

    Either they didn't order it or they ordered low quantities which were quickly gobbled up.

    PhantomZone in Chatswood are terrible for only ordering in 1 or 2 extra Transformers comics, than what their standing order people ordered.

    Guess Parra is probably the same.

    Funnily enough, the crap comics that anyone could tell you werent going to sell (UK reprints, Saga of the Allspark) they seem to order in heaps of, but revelation, beast Wars and other more popular comics they order none of... go figure.
